Addressing Transition Age Youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder

Individuals with autism face many challenges, particularly when they transition from adolescence to adulthood. Parents, school personnel, and behavior analysts must work together to ensure that adolescents have the skills needed to be successful in the next phase of their lives. This course will address how behavior analysts can assist adolescents and their families with issues surrounding life skill, vocational, educational, and social skill needs. The goal of this course is to provide behavior analysts with strategies for preparing clients with autism for post-secondary opportunities. This training program is offered independent of the Behavior Analysis Certification Board® (BACB®).
